Description
I am thinking to add more language coverage to the bitmap font used by RGUI. I saw the font is just a bmp image https://raw.githubusercontent.com/libretro/RetroArch/master/gfx/drivers_font_renderer/bitmap.bmp
Is it possible to extends the bmp to support more languages? like Chinese, Japanese, Korean, etc.?
